If a talk Thursday by Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno at Washington's Center of Strategic and International Studies is any guide, that's precisely what the Army remains unwilling to do.
Reporting on the event, AOL Defense's Sydney Freedberg noted that Odierno's "overwhelming emphasis was on reshaping the Army and its personnel to Öto justify itself as a jack of all trades."
